Grid map for geolocalization

[ghost]

Hi,

We are a group of students doing this miniproject for a subject called "Free Software Projects" in our university upf.edu

We have to present it on 20th Friday of Desember at 16.30, but we have to start now to communication of the pull request. And see the feedback. Apologies if this is not the way to do this, we have few time and trying to do our best. Redirect us to the properly channel to work on this way.

We worked on a geolocalization map (temporarily named MapQuery.js) with OSM and leaflet technology, that shows where are the comments 1 in a grid, and depending on the zoom. With the widget pager of reuters we display the top 10 comments. Also you can search with the widget search.

Warning: The code is still dirty, with spanish and catalan comments... Our interest now is if this is useful for this opensource project and community

Cheers,
Pedro

EDIT: also we will provide documentation how we did it, if it is for your interest

[1] we used a particular database, and the code in certain way is "contamined" with it

Hi @pedro-nonfree, can you attach a screenshot of the widget, or a URL where I can see how it works?

this are some comments of the comments of the database of meneame. As you see, this is a spanish community, so that's why there are less in brazil

this is what it does.

• the geolocalization is very efficient with 1,000,000 and 2,500,000 of results in our tests
  we are working
• but the search no (also is not working very well markers - search), we don't know if is because our solr server, the indexation, ...

we have better representation of the markers, let's see this night how it goes

[ghost]

we have three colors: 0-33% green, 33%-66% orange, 66%-100% red, percentage representative of "total results of the query"

now the widget is functional
we are cleaning the code and finishing the documentation

You can download the code with our repository, and execute in browser:
ajax-solr-master/examples/reuters/index.html

it connects automatically to our server, and you will see it working. Also, I can provide you a link to run it directly if you do not want to download

Hi again, we passed the subject, but the dedicated server in my house is still running the solr instance for the app. I'm waiting you to test it. Can you check the app? Can I shutdown the server? Now I'm involved in other projects. Thanks

@pedro-nonfree You can shutdown the server. It may be a while before I have time to review this pull request.
